Wallace
Provost’s ‘The Moon Is Not for Sale’ uses technology as we know it to
create a futuristic world on the moon that lovers of sci-fi will revel
in.

Author Wallace Provost gives lovers of science fiction a book to truly revel in with The Moon Is Not for Sale. Provost’s
attention to detail and intriguing characters make this a novel that
readers will be easily drawn into, losing themselves in the futuristic
and fascinating world that Provost has created.

Life
on the Moon is not all it’s cut out to be. Temperatures both day and
night are deadly and unbearable. There are few places to hide from the
blistering heat and the freezing cold. However, two people are
determined to make it work, despite the danger and difficulty that
challenges their dreams. Annie Taylor, a law student, came to the moon
to harvest Helium 3, a precious element that not only solved the energy
crisis, but also prevented World War III.

Trapped
on the moon during a Helium storm, she is saved by Clint Baker and
taken to his family’s ranch, started by Tex and Dolly Baker, who simply
wanted to create a bit of their Dallas, Texas home on the strange and
airless moon. Although Annie must return to Earth to solve her sister’s
murder, she follows the murderer when he escapes to the Moon. Once
there, her life becomes a complicated series of events involving power,
control, and law. Appointed Lieutenant Governor of the Moon, she must
arrange a world where the land is not under control, and the people are
free to live out their hopes.

Already being lauded by readers as being “about science, not fantasy”, The Moon Is Not for Sale is
an exciting science fiction ride to the Moon and back, and will capture
readers’ imaginations from the first page to the last.
